It is the best time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting things or tips. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read even more things about it!

I find the Firefox Add-on update dialogue when I open Firefox quite distracting. Usually when I’m opening the browser, I have the intent to go to a site, or the browser is opening a link from another app – and this dialogue interrupts my flow from one state to the next.

The web clips in gmail are really distracting to me.

Also, Vienna on my desktop is kinda distracting because it tells me how many unread items I have. If there are any, I feel compulsion to go read them right now!

http://ninjawords.com/ – online dictionary, but very elegantly done, it’s a pleasure to look up words.

Remember The Milk helps me to keep a list of things I want to do “later”, so I don’t have to indulge in them “right now”.

As much as google reader helps in productivity (not having to check a bunch of sites manually), it’s too easy to add new feeds. Getting the “new post” count to zero is a serious detraction for me almost every day.

There are some sites that have pop-overs that ask “would you be willing to be part of a survey?” Those totally destroy my train of thought. They especially annoy me when I run into them on a site I rarely visit, because I will usually be in a hurry. For instance I’ll be doing a search for a driver, go to a manufacturer’s page, and as I’m trying to find the right link to click, the box will pop up and cover my page.

Similarly, any kind of ad that shows up before you can get to the content derails the thought process.

In terms of web-apps that help productivity, I agree with the Google Apps being well-designed. Google Reader, for instance, allows me to focus on a particular task (this is true for any good aggregator, of course). I also like web-apps that allow me to visualize alot of data at once, giving “the big picture” instead of forcing me to click through links (and inevitably forget what I was trying to do…). For example this site lays out the top news stories:
